Cathay Pacific has been one of the title
sponsors and the official airline of the hong
Kong Sevens for over 30 years. as part of its
partnership with the tournament, Cathay,
in conjunction with Rugby Canada and the
BC Rugby Union, offers special "Fly 'n' See"
packages to help local rugby enthusiasts get
in on the hong Kong action (wherever it may
be). a package for the weekend festivities,
which runs again in late march 2016 (after the
Vancouver "Canada Sevens"), includes airfare
plus a three-day event ticket. Prices and dates
haven't been released for 2016 yet, but this
year's packages were available for as little
as $1,575 for economy class and $4,664 for
business class.
and if you're going to travel the distance
(13 hours-plus from
YVR) and can stomach the
step-up in price, business class is definitely the
way to go. global passengers regularly vote
Cathay the world's best airline at the Skytrax
world airline awards, and travelling business
class one can see why. From fully flat beds
that measure two metres in length and enter-
tainment centres with well-stocked libraries
of movies, music and games to extensive
menus offering everything from beef tenderloin
to dim sum and vintage port to domestic beer
(should you want to pre-drink for that first
game), you'll arrive well rested and ready
to rumble.–M.O'G.
